Massage These to Improve Breathing + Posture
If you are not using the big dome shaped muscle inside of your torso called the diaphragm to breathe then you will likely rely on other muscles in the neck and chest.
-
Not only does this cause tension and raise stress, but it also distorts your posture and causes forward head.
-
This is what is known as secondary breathing and it’s not good.
-
By massaging these muscles you can help teach the nervous system to NOT rely on these common secondary breathing muscles and to rely more on the diagram to breathe.
-
These stack VERY well with breathing drills. I highly recommend massaging these FIRST before you practice any breathing drills (the pecs and upper traps at the very least).
-
Massaging them effectively helps turn them “off” so they will work less (pec minor and upper traps).
-
The abdominal wall release is more to allow the diaphragm to descend down easier with less restriction. Still wanted to include that in the list because most people have never tried that! #shorts
